anatomy/site Flashcards
ideal sampling site for a systemic venous sample
pulmonary artery
Needle or Catheter Aspiration site
second anterior intercostal space in the midclavicular line or laterally at the fourth or fifth intercostal space in the anterior axillary line
triangle of safety in CTT
fifth intercostal space, pectoralis major, and latissimus dorsi
Primary sites of catheter insertion in the ED in transvenous pacing
right internal jugular vein (preferred) and the left subclavian vein
placement of pads in Internal defibrillation
one in the left ventricle the other on the right ventricle
majority of cases of Crohn’s disease involves
ileum
ulcerative colitis “crypt abscess” location
Rectum
Hesselbach triangle
lateral border of the inferior epigastric arteries, a medial border with the rectus sheath, and an inferior border of the inguinal ligament
ovarian torsion commonly happens in the right or left?
70% of torsions occur on the right side, due to the increased length of the utero-ovarian ligament on the right and the sigmoid on the left, limiting space for movement.
pregnant women with VT commonly happens in the what site?
VT in pregnant women is more often left-sided (85% vs. 55% nonpregnant) and is more commonly found in proximal iliofemoral veins (72% vs. 9% nonpregnant).
Six cardinal movements
(1) engagement,
(2) flexion,
(3) descent,
(4) internal rotation,
(5) extension,
(6) external rotation
Chronic hypertension In pregnancy
SBP ≥140 mm Hg or DBP ≥90 mm Hg that existed prior to pregnancy or persists longer than 12 weeks after delivery
Severe chronic hypertension in pregnancy
systolic blood pressure >160 mm Hg or diastolic pressure >110 mm Hg
Gestational hypertension
hypertension present only after the 20th week of pregnancy or in the immediate postpartum period but without proteinuria
Three anatomic constrictions affect the adult esophagus:
- At the cricopharyngeus muscle (C6) with a resting pressure of around 100 mm Hg.
- At the level of the aortic arch (T4)
- At the gastroesophageal junction (T10 to T11)
Pediatric esophagus gets two additional areas of constriction
- At the thoracic inlet (T1)
2. At the tracheal bifurcation (T6)
HSV-1 resides in
Trigeminal Ganglia (recurrent vesicles in V1)
HSV-2 resides in
Sacral Ganglia
Varicella-zoster virus is latent in
Dorsal Root Ganglion
Cytomegalovirus Radiculitis commonly targets the
lumbosacral nerve roots
Polio targets
spinal cord anterior horn cells
absorption of vitamin B12 happens in the
ileum
absorption of vitamin B1 (thiamine) in the
Jejunum
Anatomic “Cardiac Box” boundaries
area of the chest bound by the sternal notch superiorly, the xiphoid process inferiorly, and the nipples laterally
Flank boundaries
region between the anterior and posterior axillary lines, bordered superiorly by the sixth ribs and inferiorly by the iliac crests, containing retroperitoneal organs, soft tissue, ribs, and spine
Gluteal region
extends from the iliac crest to the gluteal fold and is bordered by the greater trochanters
Flexion teardrop fracture (highly unstable) is associated with
Anterior spinal cord syndrome
Fracture of lateral mass (can be unstable) – flexion rotation is associated with
Brown-Séquard syndrome or vertebral artery injury
Hyperextension disloca¬tion (unstable) extension is associated with
Central Cord Syndrome
provides primary support for weight-bearing
tibia
Anatomic snuffbox boundaries
triangle formed by the bony radial styloid at its proximal base, the extensor pollicis brevis tendon at its radial aspect, and the extensor pollicis longus tendon at its ulnar aspect
primary organ involved (acute kidney injury) in catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome
kidney
preferred target of rheumatoid arthritis
atlantoaxial joint (cervical spine)
sensitive barometer for onset or flare of rheumatic diseases
eye
anconeus triangle (elbow joint aspiration)
radial head, lateral epicondyle of the distal humerus, and the lateral aspect of the olecranon tip
